How do I repair completely broken power armor if it is not already equipped to a suit of power armor?
I acquired several pieces of power armor on my travels with the intent of adding them to my suits sitting around Sanctuary Hills which were all missing certain parts.
The problem is that some of the armor pieces were completely broken, condition was 0 and interestingly weight was also 0.
When I tried to add the armor piece to a suit I get a notification telling me I can't add armor to a frame if it is broken, so how am I suppose to repair them if they are not part of a suit that can be walked over to a power armor repair station as outlined in this question?
I tried repairing them from my inventory directly at the repair station, adding them to the workshop inventory and repairing them from the armor workbench but none of these worked.
Is it even possible to repair a completely damaged power armor piece and if so how do I do it?

Additionally to @WayneEra's answer:
When you let a companion wear Power Armor, it is possible that they'll automatically unequip broken pieces. When you see that, you'll need to trade with your companion to get the piece from their inventory into yours, so you can repair it.
Once the piece is repaired, you can give it back to your companion and they'll automatically add the repaired piece to their Power Armor frame, assuming they're still wearing it.

Answer 2
Power armor components usually require 2 pieces of steel each. These can be in your inventory or in your workshop inventory. Steel can be found in junk items, ball peen hammers, wrenches, etc, or by scrapping signs, guard rails, lamp posts, etc from the workshop interface. If you don't have enough steel the power armor rack won't repair them.
Answer 3
When you don't have the required items to fix your armor part, the equip funtion will still be greyed out. Try and hit equip to see what you're missing.
